Biking for a Good Cause

11/11/2014

Take part in sport while supporting a good cause – this was the motto of the 62 participating employees of Team WNT during the “Allgäu-Rundfahrt” (Allgäu Bike Tour) organized by the Cycle Club Kempten at the end of July.

Participation in this event by the WNT cycling enthusiasts from 12 countries also concluded a 3-day Bike Challenge organized by WNT for its employees.

During the Allgäu-Rundfahrt on the final day of the challenge Team WNT was able to achieve an outstanding 2nd place finish in the team category with a total cycled distance of 3,694 km.

However, sport was not the main focus of this event, but rather the good cause it supported. Each kilometer cycled by a WNT employee was converted into cash for charity. Thus, WNT was once again able to donate a considerable sum of 3,694 Euros to the relief organization Doctors Without Borders.

Claude Sun, Managing Director of WNT Germany, thanked the team both for the sporting accomplishment and also for the social contribution: "WNT has supported the organizationDoctors Without Borders for many years. We have the greatest respect for thehumanitarianandmedical care they provide forpeopleincrisis or inthe aftermath of naturaldisasters.
